Custom orthotics work on your feet much like glasses work on your eyes - they reduce stress and strain on your body by bringing your feet back into proper alignment. The plastic body of the custom ortho...tic helps to re-align the foot by redirecting and reducing certain motion that takes place during the gait cycle. Custom orthotics fit into your shoes as comfortably as an insole - and they have the advantage of having been made from precise imprints of your feet. Who Needs Custom Orthotics?

Do you know what is unhappy triad is? An unhappy or blown knee is an injury to the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and the Medial meniscus. The triad refers to a complete or partial tear of the anterior cruciate ligament, medial collateral ligament, and the medial meniscus. Originally the "unhappy triad" included the medial meniscus and not the lateral meniscus. However, during the 1990s, analysis indicated that the 'classic' O'Donoghue triad is actua...lly an unusual clinical entity among athletes with knee injuries. Some authors mistakenly believe that in this type of injury, acute tears of the medial meniscus always present with a concomitant lateral meniscus injury. This is definitely not true. However, the lateral meniscus tears are more common than medial meniscus tears in conjunction with sprains of the ACL. At St. Mary Physiotherapy Centre we successfully diagnosed and treated many sport injuries

Arthritis - How can physiotherapy help? Understanding how arthritis affects you A physiotherapist can help you to understand what happens to your joints and muscles when you have arthritis. Understanding your arthritis will help you to manage its effects. Managing your pain... Arthritis can cause pain in one particular part of the body or more widespread joint and muscle pain. Medications will help but a physiotherapist can tell you about other methods of pain relief that work alongside your medications. You’ll be able to continue with some of these treatments yourself between appointments: Ice packs can be used to soothe hot, swollen joints. Heat packs help to relax tense, tired muscles. Splinting of swollen or painful joints may be helpful, for example during a flare-up of rheumatoid arthritis. Your physiotherapist or an occupational therapist (OT) may provide temporary splints for you. TENS (transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation) works by blocking pain messages to your brain and altering your perception of pain. A TENS machine is a small electronic device that sends pulses to your nerve endings via pads placed on your skin. This causes a tingling sensation that you may find soothing. Pace yourself Overdoing things can increase your pain, but so can not doing enough. Your physiotherapist can advise you on increasing your activity level at a rate you can cope with and on finding the right balance between rest and activity. Planning your activities so that you don’t overdo it will let you to enjoy the things you want to do. Take regular graded exercise Graded exercise starts slowly and increases in small steps. This will help you to strengthen your muscles and joints and increase your fitness. Improving your general fitness and stamina will help you to increase your activity level without increasing your pain. Regular exercise will also stimulate production of your body’s own natural pain-relieving hormones (endorphins). Your physiotherapist may offer other treatments, including the following: Massage can help the muscles relax and make joint movement more comfortable. Acupuncture can stimulate the brain to produce endorphins. Some physiotherapists are trained to give acupuncture. Other treatments Electrotherapy using techniques such as ultrasound and low-level laser therapy can help to stimulate the healing process and therefore reduce pain. Manipulation can help to improve the range of movement in your joint. It’s not appropriate for every patient, but your physiotherapist will be able to advise whether it could be useful to you. - See more at: http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org///how-can-it-help.aspx - See more at: http://www.arthritisresearchuk.org///how-can-it-help.aspx
